KirkSave Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Wow. Steep price but Colorado is looking great on paper this year, aside from their inexperienced D corp. This team has lots of young world class talent and once Makar and Bowen get their feet wet and hit their stride, look out. Av's are going to be the Lightning of the West for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Decent price given that this isn't a bridge deal. Is Connor the only big RFA left now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 This looks a bit bad given some recent bridges - But just no surprise here either. Knew he was going to be the richest COL player after what he achieved last year and in the playoffs...in a few years when all the other guys are signing their next contracts Sakic will look like he did a good job with this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanuck94 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Steep and decent? This is a GREAT price in correlation with the term. Avs did well. Edited September 28, 2019 by MrCanuck94 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's fair really... only a 6 year deal, and 9.25 is not peanuts. If it was 8 years X 9 mil, I'd say Avs got a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. The Marner and Matthews contracts should have been eight years for the price Dubas paid for them. He did not handle those negotiations well. Benefit to them is that the only bad contract they have on the team is Ceci so they can work around the $1m aav overpayments they each received.

grandmaster Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Fair deal on both sides, just like every other RFA deal except the Marner one. Goes to show you that having a young and inexperienced GM such as Dubas was a mistake. From Nylander, Matthews to Marner. All way over paid RFA contracts. The player agents must just love dealing with this guy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player agents must just love dealing with this guy! Marner, Captain Underpants and Tavares all max bonus money, every year of their deals. Why even have a negotiation ? Nylander looks good in comparison at only 60% bonus money. Edited September 28, 2019 by Jimmy McGill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 That's a pretty good deal for the Avs tbh, he didn't get Marner money and they weren't willing to give it to him. Good for them. Given how dynamic that line is, the term Rantanen is signed to and the firepower they have coming up on the back end the Avs are looking pretty damn good.

Vinny in Vancouver Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Now that that's over, here's the sorted AAV breakdown: Marner at $10.893 mil x 6 years Rantanen at $9.25 mil x 6 years Aho at $8.454 mil x 5 years (Not a RFA) Chabot at $8 mil x 8 years Connor at $7.14 mil x 5 years Matthew Tkachuk at $7 mil x 3 years Laine at $6.75 mil x 2 years Point at $6.75 mil x 3 years Provorov at $6.75 mil x 6 years Meier at $6 mil x 4 years Boeser at $5.87 mil 5 x 3 years Konecny at $5.5 mil x 6 years Werenski at $5 mil x 3 years McAvoy at $4.9 mil x 3 years Colin White at $4.75 mil x 6 years Imho, considering both term and AAV, it's still Meier and McAvoy as the best value. Damn those Sharks and Bruins... Edited September 29, 2019 by vinny_in_vancouver 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn those Sharks and Bruins... Meier's qualifying offer is 10 million. Not a fan of that. McAvoy is similar that it's a good price, but QO is 7.3 million. Werenski's QO is 7 million. In comparison, BB's QO is 7.5 million, which makes BB's just as good as most of these similar deals in the long term. Point is the best deal IMO but they have the tax advantage. Personally I think Aho's deal is pretty good, but the offer sheet actually helped them. Aho was in a market that needs him and he could've easily demanded more, but the deal hurts because of the term. I think Marner is overpaid, but he probably actually took less than he could've held out for. With that said, Marner can play a regular PK shift which is what makes him stand out above most. So with that in mind, I personally think Rantanen's deal is overpriced (or at least simply a fair deal) in comparison for a 6 year term. If it was 8 years then it would be much better. But it's Colorado, they can do no wrong to most here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
